Calories: 836kcal
Ingredients
- 1 steak of your choice 12-16 ounce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 TBSP olive oil
Garlic Butter topping:
- 4 oz butter softened to room temperature
- 1 TBSP parmesan cheese shredded
- ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Lightly coat your entire steak with oil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the entire steak. If you are cooking a thicker steak and will be finishing it off in the oven, make sure to preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat your skillet to medium/medium high heat. Once heated, add steak and cook for 5 minutes on each side. If you have a thicker steak, you can also cook on each of the long sides for 1 minute.
- To make the Garlic Butter, combine the butter, parmesan cheese, garlic and butter in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator to cool and harden.
- Finish cooking thick/ large steaks in a 400 degree F oven for 2-5 minutes. This is where a cast iron skillet comes in handy, you can put the skillet in the oven without having to transfer the steak to an oven safe dish.
- Remove from heat and top with garlic butter. Let rest for a few minutes, while loosely tented with aluminum foil.
